I am left eye dominate but right handed.
While I can shoot right side, I am primary a lefty with a long gun.
I tried the KAC ambi mag release but my 3X hands made it difficult to hit the release lever. The Troy unit works for me with no hangup issues with the BAD lever.
The BCM ambi charging handle has not been an issue.
I have another BCM I use for duty and it is set up the same way.

got a noveske qd end plate, noveske STS 60 degree ambi safety, BCM mod 5 charging handle, norgon ambi mag release, magpul BAD lever. it is less than optimal with the BAD and the norgon combined but practice weapon manipulation everyday and it is getting easier to deal with. i'm right handed, right eye dominant but have practice constantly for about 3 years switching side is a lot more natural, still have to blink my right eye a bit to keep the left in focus using any optic or irons.
BAD-CASS and Raptors across the board for me.
I'd run ambi releases too, but I live in bullet button country.![]()
Life is full of choices. I choose Noveske.
i am left handed.
norgon ambicatch
wilson combat extended bolt release (for the left hand index and or middle finger bolt release technique)
i have an ikickhippies end plate which i do not use and find unnecesasary because i use two point slings.
i do not have an ambidextrous charging handle. i find that i would always resort back to clawing the charging handle like i am dealing with a double feed or brass over bolt problem. it is possible to use the index finger to depress the bolt release to hold back the bolt while pulling on an ambidextrous charging handle (ala scar 16 with charging handle on right side of the gun). because of the drills requiring that manipulation i have never become accustomed to the idea of charging the gun with a stroke of the palm.
i wish i had a receiver that had ambidextrous features integrated. the add on ambi features always look funny/snaggy.
SR-15 lower; BAD-ASS with a thin on the left side and short on the right; Raptor charging handle. The final touches are the MUR upper for more space between the forward assist and the Raptors right side release as well as the X300 mounted on the top rail.
For the most part I like the 'standard' controls as they are. Although I do appreciate the BADASS/BADCASS 45degree safety, not for the ambi feature, but the 45degree flip is really slick. The ambi mag-drop on my KAC doesn't get used mostly because I haven't trained for it & forget it's there. But still I prefer not having a mag-drop so close to the bolt catch & slammer.

I’m a lefty and just recently decided to make myself a full ambi AR, my first up, until now I have used stock configured ARs.
I started with a Colt 6920:
A Raptor charging handle was my first mod,
Then a BAD-ASS 90* selector with that short lever on the left and standard on the right (thinking of giving the Hybrid a shot).
Next came the Magpul B.A.D.
These mods make me feel like an idiot for not doing them a long time ago.
I have a Norgon on the way and will 12o’clock mount a X300 Ultra on a Mossie.
The only down side I’m seeing is having to convert the rest of my ARs over.![]()
Just ambi selector...

I also deal with 5-10% of the population 80-90% of the time...
As far as mag catches go, Norgons suck IMHO compared to the Troy, especially for the price.
I have two Norgons and two Troys and I wont be buying any more Norgon catches. They are pretty tough to use on mags with new springs and the button is too close to the bolt catch.
BAD ASS is the only way to go for safeties. I prefer short on my thumb side and short-thin on the other. I also have a BAD CASS and don't really see the need for it.
For charging handles, I prefer the BCM to the Raptor. The Raptor is a great 2nd place product but it's more costly and is almost too streamlined. The BCM just "catches" your hand better for charging. I did however use a Raptor on my 308-AR because it's the only offering in that department but the 556 version I have will be the last one I buy after trying both.
No BAD-idea levers on any of my guns... not sure why people still use them.
